Why I Didn't Vote For Mark Kirk In The Primary

From the Sun Times: Kirk retreats on repeal of health-care bill.

A Giannoulias spokeswoman pretty much sums it up: "It reveals that Congressman Mark Kirk is more interested in political calculations for his own personal gain[.]"

I had come around to giving him a pass on supporting Cap-and-Trade, hoping that he had seen the error of his ways and was now, more or less, going to take more conservative positions.

Much as I don't want Giannoulias in the US Senate, it might be worth it to keep Kirk out.

Good Riddance, Arlen Specter

Arlan Specter (R-PA) is finally ditching his RINO moniker and switching to the Democrat Party.

Good riddance. You belong there.

Wonder if this has anything to do with his upcoming tough Republican primary fight against former Club for Growth president Pat Toomey. Do ya think?
